It all fits together really nicely. I gave a talk on the philosophy of the Social Web if you are interested. http://www.slideshare.net/bblfish/philosophy-and-the-social-web-5583083 Hackers tend to be engineers with a political attitude, so they are more receptive to the bigger picture. But solving the big picture problem should have an easy entry cost if we want to get it going. I talked to the BBC but they have limited themselves to what they will do in the Social Web space as far as profile hosting goes. Again, I'd start small. Facebook started in universities not that long ago. Henry Social Web Architect http://bblfish.net/
